      Single photon-emission computed tomography may be helpful, but has been reported for only two vCJD cases.9 During the course of CJD surveillance it was noted that high signal was reported in the posterior thalamus (pulvinar) bilaterally on dual echo (T2 or proton density-weighted) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in two histologically proven vCJD cases.10,11 We postulate that the identification of bilateral pulvinar high signal might be a sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis of vCJD in patients with suspected disease.
